Join WETSCAPES2.0 鈥� Research the Landscapes of Tomorrow

We are seeking highly motivated candidates for the newly established Collaborative Research Centre 鈥淲ETSCAPES2.0鈥� (April 1^st, 2025鈥揇ecember 31^st, 2028), funded by the German Research Foundation (DFG).

WETSCAPES2.0 combines the expertise from the University of Greifswald, the University of Rostock, the IGB Berlin, the GFZ Potsdam, the Ludwig-Maximilians-University M眉nchen, the MPI for Biogeochemistry Jena and the Humboldt-University Berlin. WETSCAPES2.0 focuses on the functional understanding of rewetted fens, including coastal peatlands, in Mecklenburg-Vorpommern. The rewetting of previously drained and often agriculturally used fens is leading to the development of novel ecosystems that differ from natural peatlands and are largely unexplored. The planned monitoring, experimental, and modeling research will focus on biogeochemical, hydrological, and biological processes, with emphasis on water and matter fluxes within and beyond the peat body and their associated microbiological and biological drivers. In addition to site-level studies, the role of rewetted fens in the broader landscape will be investigated.

Postdoctoral researchers with a doctoral degree in one of the project鈥檚 research areas will find excellent opportunities to further develop their professional skills and research track record. Postdoctoral researchers will be responsible for coordinating and developing the research topics through interdisciplinary collaboration within the cluster, including joint supervision of doctoral researchers. They will have full access to all training activities of the Integrated Research Training Group 鈥淲ETSKILLS鈥�.

Postdoctoral positions (45 months) are available in different disciplines:

• Project Coordination
• Modeling
• Biogeochemistry
• Microbiology
• Greenhouse Gas Exchange
• Peatland Science
• Hydrology
• Soil Physics
• Public Relations
• Research Data Management
